    I was able to get to the patching screen, select my server and click on the Green Arrow, after which the program would run in the background (checked taskmanager) and not actually show me the game. Nothing was listed on the taskbar.)

    On a hunch 1) Turned off Origin's In-game UI/overlay and 2) Had Origin create a direct shortcut to the game and run it in Administrator mode.

    This fixed my issue, which I suspsect is caused mainly by the Origin overlay.

    I'm hoping when I tell them it didn't work, they'll have another solution. They might have along checklist of possible solutions.

    And yes, simscity is most definately bigger than a few hudren mbs. Did oyu just delete the folder in mydocs?
